(3° person POV)

(Ari): “Wow, that was amazing!”

He said about the fight of the Blue Queen, who is now being crowned with the Crown of Tides. It looks like a crown, which isn’t made of shells. It looks like a blueish metal ring, decorated with metal waves and a trident on the front, decorated here and there with gems that look like aquamarines, however these gems glow unnaturally with a beautiful sea-green hue.

(Serena): “Wow, the Crown of Tides is really beautiful!”

She said, as the crown is a truly beautiful piece of art. Umbra nodded and said:

(Umbra): “As far as I know, every one of the crowns has a special ability, although none of the Kings have used it yet in front of people. It got leaked when someone tried to spy in on of the kings training.”

(Maria): “Oh, and what happened?”

(Umbra): “Well, he tried to spy on the black king, and ended up three months in a hospital bed with a strong curse placed on him.”

They paled when they heard that. After all, try to spy on a Color King is a mistake. As they chat a bit more, eating something to fill their stomach, the next phase of the tournament is announced. This time, it’s the fight for the Green Throne.

(Ari): “I hear that the Green King is quite a unique guy.”

(Umbra): “Yeah, I heard that too. Apparently, he, like the Darkrender and the Siren has a unique magic that he developed. If I’m not mistaken, his nickname is ‘The Druid’.”

He said, as mina announced two of the fighters. Two girls.

(Mina): “On the left side, an excellent monster summoner and archer, Luna! On the right side, Mary, a powerful summoner and a plant user!”

The signal for the start of the fight was given, and Mary did the first move, taking one card out of her grimoire and crouching down, putting the ground on the ground. Immediately, the card started to shine, fueled by her own mana. Thick roots sprout from the ground, growing in front of her and eventually forming ten meters tall tree.

As the tree grew into its full height, Luna took out eight cards, six of which transformed into mana, and each of the remaining cards absorbed three. She threw the to the ground in front of her, and roots sprouted, braking the ground and picking up large boulder pieces, creating two humanoid creatures three meters high.

(Mina): “While Mary raises a tree Luna summons two Nature Golems, created by meddling green mana, roots and stone!”

Mary smiles, and her tree, now fully grown, creaks bends a little, it’s branches sliding down to the sides, creating arms that look monstrous. The roots rip out off the ground, wriggling like serpents. The lower part splits in two, creating legs, and the bark in the middle of the tree breaks into a face.

(Mina): “A treant! Mary, as a true green mage, grew her own monster from the nature!”

The treant goes for the attack, laughing deeply. Luna moves her hand, and the two golems advance, trying to tackle the tree monster. Meanwhile, Luna pulled the string of her bow without an arrow. However, it’s possible to notice that she has a wooden bracelet on her right hand which is pulling the string.

The bracelet grows, extending into an arrow in less than a second. She fires the arrow to Mary as her golems tacker the treant, hindering its movements. Mary rolls out of the way of the arrow, taking out four cards from her grimoire.

Three of them turn into mana, and she slams the card in the ground as she stops her roll. An explosion of green light happens, and a monster appears. It’s a bear, with light-green fur with white markings on it’s fur in Celtic patterns, with its belly being covered in white fur.

(Mina): “A Green Grizzly! A strong upper mid-tier monster! When summoned, he is strong as a normal bear, however, he will eventually turn more powerful as he absorbs green mana from the surroundings!”

The bear rushed directly to Luna while the two golems kept the treant occupied, with some difficulty. Luna avoided the bear’s attack by rolling to the side, and pulled the string while jumping over the bear, shooting the arrow on its head.

The arrow bothered the bear, but it didn’t stop him. However, it distracted him enough to Luna fall on his back, grabbing tightly. The bear trashed, however, the nimble mage was able to keep herself on it.

Mary looked, shocked, being distracted for a second. However, that isn’t a problem, as green creatures are among the easiest ones to control, since after they’re tamed, they develop a friendship bond with their tamer. Luna, taking Mary’s distraction as an opportunity, threw out her bow, taking five cards from her grimoire.

Three of them turned into green mana, one of the absorbing one and the second one absorbing two. She slammed one of the cards on the bear’s head, and the other one right in front of the creature that was visibly growing slowly.

The one that she slammed in his head exploded in dark-green mist, making the bear strangely sleepy, slowing him down by a lot. The one that hit the ground made roots sprout out, entangling the bear, making it fall to the ground. Luna jumps off the bear, rolling over her bow, taking back the weapon.

(Mina): “A combination of the green magic Lethargy and Entangle! The Green Grizzly is temporarily out of combat!”

As she said, the bear is now sleeping, imprisoned by the roots. However, his size is visibly turning larger, slowly and steady. Soon, he will break free from the roots, as green magic doesn’t have must strength against green monsters. The bear may be asleep now, but soon he will wake up, bigger and powerful.

Mary, seeing her bear trapped, clicks her tongue, taking six cards out of her grimoire while her treant finally defeats the golems. However, the tree is extremely battered. Luna manages to pass directly from the almost dead treant, who is now powerless to stop her.

Mary turn five cards into mana but loses them when Luna fires an arrow to her, forcing her to disrupt her summoning. The treant tries to come back, but Luna is way too close to Mary. Luna slides on the ground, her feet hitting Mary’s knees, making the girl fall.

Luna gets up, knocking an arrow on the bow and pointing it to Mary’s face, who is forced forfeit the fight.

(Mina): “Mary forfeits the fight! Luna wins the battle!”
